040, The World (Part 1)
Huwa waited for a while at the market. People from the six nearby villages soon arrived. Huwa, including Huwa, were all strong young men. Everyone introduced each other, and they all got to know each other.
Huwa felt it very clearly that the five young students around him were full of excitement, excitement, and longing, and they had beautiful longings for the future.
Maybe some of them also know the inside story of the pilgrimage to the fairy city. Even if they don't know the details, they know that being able to participate in the pilgrimage to the fairy city is not only an honor, but also a status symbol among the Bai'e clan. In fact, in ordinary villages, almost
Every clan leader had participated in a pilgrimage to the fairy city when they were young.
Meng Guang led six young men and drove two carriages southward. They found a place to stay overnight on the way and arrived at Luluzhai the next day. Luluzhai is located on the roadside from Yilang City to Hu'an City, so it is called Luluzhai.
This name. Walking northeast from Yilang City is Lu City; walking due east along the east coast, the other city you reach is Hu'an City.
Luluzhai has the largest market in the eastern region of Yilin City. This is also the place where Huwa once exchanged muntjac skins for eggs. Bayuan is very large, and the land of China outside Bayuan is said to be even more vast, but for many nearby villages
For the villagers, Luluzhai is the end of the world and the farthest place they have ever visited in their lives.
Huwa finally met the real disciple of Chiwangqiu in Luluzhai. This man looked to be in his early thirties, and he looked like an elegant and immortal person standing among the crowd. His name was Liang Yu, and he had introduced himself four times.
At the fifth level of cultivation, Meng Guang handed Huwa and six other disciples to Liang Yu, explained a few words and went back.
Huwa waited at the roadside village for another day, and people from the Bai'e clan who were participating in the pilgrimage to the fairy city came here one after another to meet up. When they arrived, there were more than thirty people and eight carriages. These young disciples looked at Liang Yu's eyes,
Everyone is full of awe and envy, this is the fairy family on Chiwang Hill.
It was the first time for at least a dozen young students to travel far away. Everything they saw was very novel, and they were even surprised by the carriages. Ordinary people rarely ride carriages. Although the horses are fast, they are
They are not as hardworking as oxen, and they are very delicate and require careful handling. Therefore, many caravans use oxen carts to transport goods. It is indeed very rare to see eight two-horse carts at a time like this.
After more than 30 people arrived, Liang Yu led the team and set off. They prepared a lot of things, including food for the road, outdoor cooking utensils, and even tents for sleeping outdoors. Most of the time, the team was along the way.
We stayed in the villages and received attentive and warm reception. However, if we were unlucky on the way, we would occasionally sleep in the wild.
Everyone was a strong young man from the village, and they had prepared such sufficient supplies for the journey. There was no hardship at all on the journey, and it was as relaxing as sightseeing. However, some people privately told their companions that the truly difficult and dangerous journey was still there.
The rest will start after leaving Hu'an City, and the journey now is simply a kind of enjoyment.
The person who said this was obviously not the first time he had participated in the pilgrimage to the fairy city. He had already suffered a lot. After walking for more than ten days on the road, the team led by Liang Yu finally arrived at Hu'an City. The city lord of Hu'an City
The adults personally came out to greet them and arranged food and lodging for them. Many people in the team felt flattered. This was the first time for them to see such a big shot as the city lord.
The Lord of the City also hosted a banquet to entertain them. During the dinner, he and Liang Yu went to the back hall to chat privately for a while. Huwa could hear the conversation between the Lord of the City and Liang Yu, and the Lord of the City gave Liang Yu a heavy gift.
, and entrusted Liang Yu to take care of a few people on the road to prevent them from getting into accidents.
Liang Yu promised the city lord that he would try his best to take care of it, but the gift would be waived. However, the city lord was very worried and insisted on begging Liang Yu to accept it. Liang Yu saw this and stopped pestering him. He collected the things conveniently. Huwa also
When I heard the names of those people, they were not yet in my group. They must be new ones who will join them after arriving in Hu'an City.
In fact, with the respect of the city lord, if he is his own nephew, he does not need to go on a pilgrimage to the fairy city to seek immortality. He can always find an opportunity to ask an expert for personal guidance. As for whether he can enter the first level and be able to practice, it depends on whether he has the ability to practice.
Even if you don’t find the right person, it also depends on the qualifications, intangibles and opportunities of the apprentice.
The few people the city lord entrusted Liang Yu to take care of privately were all the nephews of his subordinates. Through various connections, their elders arranged for them to join the pilgrimage team to the fairy city. They were afraid that they would have an accident on the way, so they found the city lord and asked them to
The city lord took care of the monks who led the team. The gift the city lord gave to Liang Yu must have been collected by the elders of the younger generation, and the city lord may have benefited from it.
When they were in Cuizhen Village, Miss Ayuan explained these situations to Huwa. After seeing this scene in Hu'an City, Huwa also knew it well. The so-called cultivation is considered by many people to be something outside the world, but cultivation is something outside the world.
The truth is that the monks walked the path in the human world, and everything they experienced were human affairs.
On the second day, as expected, more than thirty people and eight carriages joined Huwa and his team. These people were not young people sent from the villages, but people selected from the city walls and major tribes.
Huwa also discovered something. When the team just set off from the roadside village, most of the people sent from the villages were strong and healthy, and they were indeed the most suitable candidates. But the situation was different when they arrived in the city.
Well, half of the newcomers should be able to do it, but the other half are very reluctant, although they do seem to be physically stronger than ordinary people.
But it's not the time for the real test yet, so everyone can't see much difference if they mix together. Huwa also noticed that when Liang Yu looked at a dozen of them, he always smiled bitterly involuntarily.
The pilgrimage team to the Fairy City gathered from various places where the Bai'e clan people lived. If some people were far away, they set off earlier, and finally gathered in Hu'an City at about the same time. Huwa was also considered to have arrived early,
After waiting here for five days, everyone has arrived, including those from as far away as Bincheng in Belushi Kingdom.
There were about 300 young people from various cities, tribes, and villages sent to attend the pilgrimage to the fairy city. They drove 80 carriages, and the carriages were loaded with various supplies for Chiwangqiu. Including Liang Yu.
Inside, Chiwangqiu sent a total of five disciples to lead the team, and all of them were in the fourth realm.
According to the traditions of various major sects, only disciples who have broken through the Four Realms can officially leave the mountain and perform various tasks on behalf of the sect. Huwa was a little confused for a time, why did Chiwangqiu only send five Fourth Realms disciples for such an important pilgrimage to the fairy city?
Disciple comes to escort? This is too disrespectful!
After leaving the city and continuing on the road, Huwa walked and figured it out. The people in the team were young talents from the villages and tribes to which the Bai'e family belonged. Chiwangqiu gave them a chance to win immortality.
, they are pilgrims, not distinguished guests invited by Chi Wangqiu, so it would be good if they can send disciples to escort them.
Due to the existence of Chiwangqiu, the Bai'e clan members are lucky. Even the most outstanding young people in the most remote and ordinary villages have the opportunity to obtain immortal fate without asking for help.
As for who to give this opportunity to, it is the matter of each village and tribe. Chiwangqiu has no intention to interfere. But let them understand that it is difficult to find immortal fate and difficult to practice. The pilgrimage to the immortal city is a test, both
It tests what kind of people those villages or tribes will select, and also tests these "pilgrims" walking on the road.
No matter how rugged and dangerous the road to the Fairy City is, can it be as difficult as the path to the sky? If you can't walk down such a road, you can tell what your ambition is. And with so many people traveling together on such a long road, they no longer have the original
In terms of identity, everyone is a pilgrim transporting supplies. It is easiest to see a person's true nature.
You may not be able to tell it when we are talking, laughing and traveling together, but when we constantly encounter difficulties and obstacles, it will be obvious who is who and what kind of person is it. Who is perseverant and who is delicate?
, whoever is reckless and impulsive, whoever is selfish and indifferent, whoever is cheerful and righteous, and whoever is cruel and cruel, in fact, none of them can escape the eyes of an expert.
If there is a selfish and indifferent person, but he can hide himself well, pretend to be enthusiastic and generous, and can pretend all the way to the fairy city, then he is considered a great talent. What matters is what he does along the way.
of.
Most of the young people in this team will become the leaders of the villages and tribes belonging to the Bai'e clan in the future. As long as they walk back and forth on this road, Chiwang Qiu will basically understand what they are like.
Yes, they will have enough understanding and interaction with each other, and they will invisibly weave into a closer clan network.
Having such an experience of overcoming difficulties and obstacles together is also a means to increase the sense of identity and cohesion among the Bai'e clan members.
While Huwa was thinking about this, he followed the team eastward. More than 300 people and 80 carriages first walked along the rippling east coast. The road was flat and wide, the scenery was picturesque, and the most popular villages along the way were visited.
Warm hospitality.
This seems to be the most comfortable journey in life. Every day, we look at the sea view under the sun, listen to the fishing songs at night, and feel the beauty of traveling between heaven and earth. Everyone is enjoying it so happily. But leaving the jurisdiction of Hu'an City
After entering the border, the situation quickly changed. They walked into the rolling and steep mountains, and the terrain under their feet became higher and higher between the ups and downs.
In the first few days, I occasionally went to the south side of a certain mountain, and I could still see the East China Sea in the distance. But as I walked deeper and deeper into the mountain, everyone gradually lost track of where they were, and the sea seemed to stretch endlessly.
There are thousands of rocks and ravines. It’s no wonder that horse-drawn carts are used instead of ox-carts to transport supplies. In some places, oxen cannot pass, and people need to hold the horses and have their companions pull and carry the carts.
The laughter in the team gradually became less and less, because the road was too difficult to walk, and everyone was too tired. When we camped every day, we wanted to find a grass nest sheltered from the wind and lie down. But when we were out, there were no villages along the way.
